Frequently Asked Questions
1
Do you accept insurance?
I am in network with most major insurance plans in Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida. Coverage varies by state and individual plan, so I recommend verifying your specific benefits before beginning services. Self-pay is also available.
2
What ages do you work with?
I work exclusively with adults ages 18 and older.
3
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed without notice are subject to the full session fee. If you have not joined your session within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time, the appointment is considered a missed session.
4
How does Telehealth work?
All therapy sessions are provided virtually through SimplePractice, a secure telehealth platform. Before your appointment, you’ll receive a link to join your session from your computer, tablet, or phone. You can attend from any private location within Kentucky, Indiana, or Florida.
5
How often will I attend therapy, and how long will I need it?
The frequency and length of therapy depend on your individual needs, goals, and progress. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. As you make progress, we may decide together to transition to less frequent sessions. There is no set timeline for therapy, and we’ll regularly discuss what feels most appropriate for you.
6
Where are therapy services available?
I provide therapy to adults located in Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida. Because services are provided virtually, you can attend sessions from a private location anywhere within the state where you are located.
7
What concerns do you specialize in treating?
I specialize in working with adults experiencing eating disorders and disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and difficult life transitions. Treatment is individualized based on your needs and may incorporate approaches such as CBT, DBT, CBT-E, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
8
What can I expect during my first therapy session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current concerns, relevant history, goals for treatment, and what you hope to get from therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin—we’ll work together to determine where to start.
9
Do I need to have an eating disorder diagnosis to work with you?
No. You do not need a formal eating disorder diagnosis to seek support. I work with adults experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and difficult relationships with food and exercise. If you’re unsure whether what you’re experiencing “counts” or is serious enough for therapy, we can talk about your concerns and determine what kind of support would be most helpful.
10
How do I get started?
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what you’re looking for, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we may be a good fit. If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first therapy appointment and I’ll send you the information you need to get started.
